Check if value exists in Array object Javascript or Angular

Question

I want to check if value exist in array object, example:

I have this array:

[
    {id: 1, name: \'foo\'},
    {id: 2, name: \'bar\'},
    {id: 3, nam         


        

Answer 1

You can use: some()

If you want to just check whether a certain value exists or not, Array.some() method (since JavaScript 1.6) is fair enough as already mentioned.

let a = [
   {id: 1, name: 'foo'},
   {id: 2, name: 'bar'},
   {id: 3, name: 'test'}
];        

let isPresent = a.some(function(el){ return el.id === 2});
console.log(isPresent);

Also, find() is a possible choice.

If you want to fetch the entire very first object whose certain key has a specific value, better to use Array.find() method which has been introduced since ES6.

let hasPresentOn = a.find(
  function(el) {
  return el.id === 2
  }
);
console.log(hasPresentOn);
